AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
157 PM CST MON MAR 4 2013

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TODAY IS TIMING OF COLD FRONT TOMORROW AND
STRENGTH OF POST FRONTAL WINDS.

SFC LOW CURRENTLY ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA WILL GET FORCED SOUTHEAST
AND ELONGATE OVERNIGHT AS THE NEXT MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE RACES THROUGH.
THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL RACE THROUGH TEXAS...ARRIVING IN
SOUTH TEXAS JUST AFTER SUNRISE TOMORROW. MODELS ARE IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH JUST AFTER SUNRISE FOR KHBV TO KBKS AND AROUND
MIDMORNING FOR CITIES ALONG THE RIVER.

WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS
REACHING 30 KNOTS. WHILE DRIEST RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO LAG
SOMEWHAT AND REALLY LOWER DURING THE EVENING...THE TINDER DRY FUEL
CONDITIONS FOR THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY MAKE ANY WINDY DAY A
SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR ERRATIC WILDFIRE BEHAVIOR. WILL BE UPGRADING
THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TOMORROW TO A RED FLAG WARNING. DRIER
CONDITIONS AND CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO PLUNGE INTO THE 40S
FOR MOST AREAS TOMORROW NIGHT.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WEDNESDAY WEAK SURFACE RIDGING MOVES IN BEHIND THE CLEARING COLD
FRONT AND NORTH WINDS CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AND SHIFT MORE TO THE
EAST AS THE RIDGE MOVES INTO THE NORTHWESTERN GULF. TEMPERATURES
WILL START OUT A LITTLE CHILLY NOT GIVING THEM MUCH OF A HEAD START
DESPITE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES...DID BUMP UP MAXES A BIT
THOUGH...ESPECIALLY OUT WEST. ANOTHER COOL NIGHT EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AMID LIGHT WINDS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE SURFACE RIDGE WITH
LOW DEWPOINTS STILL HANGING OVER THE AREA.

FRIDAY A STRONG TROUGH DROPS INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN US AMPLIFYING
UPPER RIDGING OVER THE CENTER PART OF THE COUNTRY. IN TURN THE MID
GULF SURFACE RIDGE INTENSIFIES AND SHUFFLES EASTWARD. FLOW ALOFT
OVER SOUTH TEXAS AND NORTHERN MEXICO WILL BE WEST SOUTHWESTERLY BUT
INCREASE TO AROUND 120 KNOTS. LEE TROUGHING DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS AND DOWN TO THE SIERRA MADRE MOUNTAINS.
AS 700 TO 925MB FLOW INCREASES IN RESPONSE EXPECT WINDS TO PICK
UP...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND WEAK WARM ADVECTION IN
THIS LAYER SHOULD PRODUCE A MARKED INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER. HIGHS
WILL BE IN THE MID TO LOWER 80S.

SATURDAY THE NOSE OF ABOUT A 160KT SPEED MAX PUSHES INTO WESTERN
TEXAS QUICKLY DEEPENING THE PLAINS TROUGHING/LOW AND FURTHER
INTENSIFYING LEE TROUGHING CLOSER TO HOME. EXPECTING WINDY
CONDITIONS STARTING FRIDAY NIGHT LASTING THROUGH THE DAY AND
SATURDAY EVENING WITH ACCOMPANYING MOSTLY CLOUDY TO OVERCAST SKIES
DUE TO THE LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION. STRONG SOUTHWESTERLIES AT 700
TO 850MB INCREASE KEEP A STRONG CAPPING INVERSION GOING...SO DESPITE
ROBUST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN DO NOT EXPECT SIGNIFICANT
CONVECTION OR PRECIP DURING THIS TIME.

SUNDAY WE WILL BE IN A BIT OF A RELATIVE LULL AS THE PLAINS LOW
LEVEL CYCLONE STARTS MOVING NORTHEAST AND THE SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER
LEVEL FLOW LETS UP JUST A BIT. STILL EXPECT A BREEZY DAY BUT
PROBABLY SLIGHTLY WEAKER LOW WARM ADVECTION AND MOISTURE RETURN
LEADING TO MORE OF A PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY DAY AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO PERHAPS UPPER 80S BEFORE ALL
IS SAID AND DONE.

MONDAY THE PARENT UPPER TROUGH AND RIGHT EXIT REGION OF THE LEADING
JET MAXIMUM APPROACH THE AREA...BY THIS TIME THOUGH MOST OF THE JET
MOMENTUM IS BEGINNING TO GET AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AND IT STARTS TO
SLOW. THIS HAS MADE THE FRONTAL TIMING IN THE LAST 2 TO 3 RUNS OF
BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF MORE PROBLEMATIC. 12Z SUITE IS PRETTY SOLD ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON FROPA WITH STRONG WINDS BEHIND IT. THE SIGNAL FOR
AT LEAST SOME PRECIP RIGHT ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT REMAINS INTACT
BUT DID TRIM THE PRECIP CHANCES DOWN JUST A BIT IN TERMS OF
VALUE...TIME AND SPACE WITH ALMOST ALL OF THE UPPER DIVERGENCE/DCVA
TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA...WARM ADVECTION AND FRONTAL
CONVERGENCE/FRONTOGENETIC FORCING HOWEVER MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
SOME LIGHT PRECIP. OVERALL GFS/ECMWF AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE IS IN
VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURES ONLY DEPARTING BY
MONDAY ON THE ACTUAL FRONTAL TIMING...WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE
CONSIDERING THE JET STRUCTURE INVOLVED BY MONDAY. CONFIDENCE IS
ABOVE AVERAGE IN THE LONG RANGE FORECAST.
